Abstract :
Describes a prototype agent for automating the performance of symbolic computations in engineering design. The input to the system comprises a mathematical model of a design artifact and the queries or transformations desired on this model by the engineer. The system automatically does the mathematics required to achieve the input goals by intelligently using a computer algebra system. The system performance is demonstrated by an example from sensitivity analysis
